  @MN5424756468736 @NoToDigitalID The notice in the image appears genuine and aligns with NatWest's fraud prevention policies for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000). Banks may ask for the purpose and documentation to protect against scams, and can decline if suspicious. This isn't a total ban on withdrawals but a security measure. Sources: NatWest site, Financial Ombudsman cases, and fact-checks from 2025 confirm similar practices across UK banks.

  @CR1337 If your withdrawal is legit, then what's the issue here? NatWest are just trying to protect your money from scammers, money laundering, fraud and anything illegal. They have a duty of care towards their customers. This is a sign of a good bank, which is why I bank with them.

  @Jimomthytimbers @disclosetv Intimidation rose in 2024 50% mostly online, awful & addressed with new laws. No evidence of systemic blackmail to your door. Farage got NatWest apology & settlement, &Truss resigned after market reaction. BoE stabilized by buying bonds, not a coup. City influential but regulated

  Cash machines and bank branches have been disappearing across Britain, even though many basic card and PIN problems still require an ATM or in-person banking service. UK regulators and LINK data show a sharp reduction in free-to-use ATMs and ongoing branch closures, while millions of people still rely on cash access. The debate over access to cash, digital banking, NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds and bank branch closures raises serious questions about who modern banking is actually designed for.

  @Leighlines @AllegroEddie NatWest tried this **** with me when trying to transferring funds using the app (transfer to another account of mine, not a new one). Log in via website and won’t be needed.

  @JimCognito2016 Banks have been closing down for years. NatWest in my area have nearly all closed. Not sure how he can pin it on Labour.

  @Dodlink @sewateruk @ThreshedThought They promised to deliver water to those on the priority list last weekend but didn’t. Promised again today, but …. My neighbours are elderly & suffering from various cancers but still no help from SEW. Still as long as the NatWest, the FCDQ & UoA are getting their money….
